Dear [Mr./Ms. LAST NAME]:

I am writing to tell you about the Entrepreneur In Residence Study being conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Silver Spring, Maryland. We received your name from the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) MedSun program.

The purpose of this study is to compare the labeling for medical devices as it currently exists with labeling for the same medical device prepared using a format we are considering to standardize the labeling for medical devices. You may be eligible for this study if you have experience with at least one of the device types being tested in this study. Your participation will take approximately 90 minutes to complete. The study findings will help inform FDA’s approach to standardizing content found in medical device labeling.


It is important to know that this letter is not to convince you to join this study. It is your decision. Your participation is voluntary and will be kept private to the fullest extent allowed by law by the research team. Whether or not you participate in this study, it will have no effect on your relationship with the U.S. FDA. Your response will be combined with the responses of others in a summary report that does not identify you as an individual. Although we expect there will be no risks from your participation, you will not directly benefit either. However, your input will help the FDA improve the clarity of future medical device labeling and you will be paid [FILL: INCENTIVE AMOUNT] via check in appreciation for your time.

If you have any questions about the study or questions about your rights as a research participant in this study you may telephone Mary Brady at 1-301-796-6089.

If we do not receive your reply within two weeks a study team member may send you another letter and/or contact you by phone.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

FDA Device Labeling Study

Screening Script for Recruitment of Healthcare Practitioners



The Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health is recruiting healthcare practitioners from the MedSun program and from two area hospitals to participate in a 90 minute study to determine if medical device labeling is usable. Participants will be asked to react to scenarios for 3 types of devices. The results from this study will help FDA assess and improve medical device labeling.

MedSun practitioners will be asked to come to FDA’s Silver Spring campus to participate in the study. Hospital employees will participate in the study on-site at their hospital. We may audiotape or videotape your responses. The recordings and your responses will not be linked to your name and will be destroyed once a summary report is written. Participants will receive an honorarium of [FILL: INCENTIVE AMOUNT] in appreciation for their time.
